N. C. Wyeth: Graphic Advertising Calendar with Western
Theme. 13" x 20" paper calendar titled "Champion Harvesting
Machines". It has a full pad of months for the year 1910 stapled to
the bottom with a metal hanging strip at the top. The central
illustration reproduces a wonderful work by noted illustrator N. C.
Wyeth titled "Alaskan Mail Carrier". It depicts an event in the
life of an Alaskan mail carrier named Henderson, credited with the
discovery of gold in the famed Klondike Gold Rush, when he was
attacked by a pack of wolves. He pulled his trusty six-shooter and
managed to kill most of the attackers before the last two wolves
decided to beat a hasty retreat. Some minor edge chipping and
horizontal folds. Published by International Harvester. A great
display piece!
